Yes! #ThursdayNotTrumpsday, #LiveEveryDayLikeItsThursday, #TrumpWho?, #ImWithHerNotHim, #DearChristNoTrumpTalkToday...something. I am DRAINED.

Eh, I bet fines would get the job done. One factor in the energetic goons who intentionally/accidentally hurt stars: their salaries are much lower. I bet Zaza has no interest in a $20,000 fine.

So, I see your point. But let me just point out one thing in your response —
“no honest, objective person can say Trump isn’t a shit person and a shit president.” I completely agree, but: this is exactly the fallacy (maybe call the “bipartisanship fallacy”) I’m talking about. The “objective” stance is not one that

“It’s got nothing to do with the Democrats losing the election. It’s got to do with one individual.”

Nah, man, nah. This sort of both-sides, bipartisan stuff is part of what got us here in the first place. The Republican party has been slowly going insane for a generation, and the belief that political objectivity

Literally no respectable Democratic writer has made any of the arguments you mock. In particular, none of them would come down on an overly simplistic evaluation like “good or bad.” But once you restore the nuanced terminology they actually use, then it becomes obvious they aren’t contradicting themselves — they’re rec

Tis a gift to be simple, Tis a gift to be Canada

Nah, ever since conservatives decided they hate liberals more than they love America, progressives have realized that they’re the real patriots — the only ones who actually love all of America’s many colors.

I just have no idea how to respond to this business plan, because I have no idea who is paying the huge prices for generic sneakers that create theses business opportunities. Maybe this is genius, maybe not.

Polling the crowd: how many of you have bought a pair of name-brand sneakers associated with an NBA player?

Let’s say I set the line for “percentage of conservative politicians, media personalities, and writers currently addicted to one or more substances” at 20%. Would you want the under or the over, and how much would you bet?

IT is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife.

Hey, I checked your source — here’s the full quote.

“We were surprised that a sitting university president with no direct knowledge of our case would choose to offer such uninformed and highly speculative opinions. Given both the lack of such knowledge and sufficient expertise, obviously the correct approach would have

That you see a corporation imposing the use of force as a result of its own mistake, one driven by an attempt to maximize profit to the fullest extent imaginable, and think to blame the vicim for the disappearance of social norms is perhaps the most important cause of all for precisely that disappearance.

Hot take: this is a failure of the aesthetic. Somehow, despite corporations being the bad guy in every movie of the last twenty years, pro-corporate attitudes remain very durable. Ideally, artistic texts should accomplish the fusion between individual story and systemic awareness that’s necessary here, but for some

Counter counterpoint: he has made all his legal remedies more valuable and effective by raising the stakes.

Shut the fuck up with this “dude probably should have read the fine print” stuff. This story is about you.

Damn, trade was so lopsided you can’t even spell his name right. That’s absolute-zero level cold.

We need less pedants and fewer pedantry, I always say.

The use of the hashtag “#Chantsup” is by far the best part of the press release.

Jesus, three obvious winners in seven minutes. America is in a dark place right now.
